Who's tried jujubes or mulberries?

Has anyone on this list grown either or both with success?

God bless,

I have not tried Jujube, but I plan to. Mulberries on the other hand I have tried. My neighbor had a Mulberry tree from which he gave me a rooted cutting, less than one foot tall. Three years later is it 12 feet tall and just made its first crop. It is a wonderful and healthy tree. Its mulberries are small, about an inch, very flavorful. This year I planted a Pakistani Mulberry which should have fruits about 4 inches long. I love this tree. Only caveat is not to place it where the fruits will stain concrete, homes, etc. Put it well out into the yard. Other than that, I plan to propagate more of each of the ones I have. Great tree and fruit.

I haven't tried either, but I have a friend in Broussard who grows both and likes them very much. She has more land than I have!
